Genre: Mystical thriller Early in the summer morning on the edge of the forest, a group of Soviet intelligence officers is training. The group commander, Senior Lieutenant Rostenkov, teaches the scouts the basics of knife fighting. The training is interrupted by a messenger with an urgent order for Rostenkov to immediately report to the battalion commander. In the dugout, at the headquarters, a dialogue will take place between the unit commander and the commander of the group of young intelligence officers, as a result of which we learn that the previous group of intelligence officers, carrying out a mission to obtain secret documents, was discovered and destroyed by the enemy. However, they managed to hide the obtained documents in one of the caches on enemy territory. Rostenkov is given the task of picking up these documents. The task is complicated by the fact that the area after the group is discovered is literally teeming with enemy search parties and the time to complete the task is very limited. The Soviet command makes a non-standard decision to send one person to complete this task, since the group has no chance at all in such conditions.
